Doesn't really solve anything tbh.

There is nothing to be solved. Even sex gets dull if you do it 5-8 hours a day.

I realised, that GW2 is not meant to be a "Main" mmo, just a casual backup game.

I feel Guilds are just chatboxes and nothing more, like most f2p games out there.... 

 

Yeah that happens. Check back in a few months when Anet had the time to add content/features. As for your guild comment, might want to find a different guild maybe, because the way you describe it , it can happen in any MMO.

There is no endgame.  (thats correct.)  Every class is a Healer/DPS/Tank so wheres the skill when all people do is zerg all the PvE content.  Even in a 5 man group there are no defined roles to play.  No one takes the blame or all the glory.

THAT....makes it a winner.....something different then the classic DPS/Healer/Tank + 'let's skip all the content, let's rush to endgame-THAT's what's important" crap.

Devs everywhere have been catering thos eplayers too much the past 10y.  MMO's means servers with a lot of players in it...not being forced to group up. It's what Blizzard has been spoonfeeding you lot and you started to believe it.

You're playing it wrong. ;-)

I'm having a great time, found a new home.

As for being bored. Not going to happen for me. Love the games design.

They should immediately get rid of DR's and immediately implement guesting, my only two complaints the rest is awesome.

This wins the thread.

Mods can now lock the thread.

There is a reason you and alot of other people, my self included, are getting extremely bored with this game.  It is by nature extremely boring. 

There is no endgame.  (thats correct.)  Every class is a Healer/DPS/Tank so wheres the skill when all people do is zerg all the PvE content.  Even in a 5 man group there are no defined roles to play.  No one takes the blame or all the glory.  Everything about this game is hand-holding.  You enter a new zone, You find the scout then head for the heart thats near your level.  You kill stuff or play a silly minigame, then you explore a bit, but its not really exporing because its all marked on your minimap.  When you are tired of that, you do your Personal story which isnt that personal because by around lvl 35 everyone has the same storyline with minor details changed. Rinse and repeat.  

I still don't get posts like this. What endgame you actually want? What forces you to go to those "marks" on minimap? Do you kow you can turn them off and explore world without any marks whatsoever? I still feel this mentality "they told me I should play this game like that - go and explore marks on map - so I shall do that and complain game is boring".

I think most of those people would really enjoy the game if they gave it a chance in the first place... If anyone wants me to explain how can this game be fun, just PM me :)

With GW2 I finally have the MMO i can put aside and play Borderlands 2 or Dark Souls , witouth feeling i am missing on subscription.

I LOVE IT !!!!

You did something for 5-8 hours a day for a week and got bored of it?????  OMG HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!?!?!??!?!?

I don't know. I would do 3-4 hour runs during many weeknights and 6-7 hours on weekends if I had nothing going on - sometimes pulling all-nighters in FFXI.  That game kept me entertained and engaged for seven years, and I never got bored.

I put a similar amount of time into Lineage 2. I got about 4 years out of that, and was never bored.

I put a similar amount of time into EQ2 and got about 2 years overall out of it. SOE's schizo approach to updating that game - trying to play "me too" with whatever WoW was doing - finally ran me out of that game. While I played it, I never got bored.

And all the while, I was playing along side others who were just as invested and just as entertained as I was, maybe even more.

So, why would GW2 be unable to hold people's attention for more than a few weeks, maybe a month or two? Because, just like most every other MMO being developed these days, it isn't designed for longevity. It was designed for "fast, easy, casual-friendly progress". It's designed to cater to the "quick gratification and frequent reward for as little time and effort as necessary" crowd. The whole "MMO-Hopping" thing is a product of newer MMOs. It was almost unheard of in 1st and 2nd, and some 3rd gen MMOs.

It might be difficult to see to those in the midst of all that, as many probably feel "this is just the way it's supposed to be". But being someone who was fortunate enough to get into the genre when the games were designed for longevity, I can see exactly why newer MMOs fail to keep people's attention, because I've been able to see the genre change over the past 4 or 5 years. The blame lies equally with the developers and the players.

That's what she said.

Like playing piano, you don't get the best experience by playing only a single note.

Vanilla? I don't think it is - WoW is Vanilla - this is Banilla!!

Just gotta take breaks til you desire to play again... GW2 may not have enough content to be a primary mmo, but it's ok to fart around in for 30 minutes every week.

Even the biggest mmos get boring to people... hell pandaria only sold 2.7million copies in its first week... and many say it is the best expansion to date... many people are just bored of wow, though 10 million mark has been re-achieved, but that number will go down in a few months after the panda content has been mostly played through.

Any game gets boring  after 5-8 hours a day. wth do you expect?

Really? I can play games like Ragnarok Online for 5+ hours a day for weeks straight and not get bored., and thats an old school grinding game. Trust me when I say, there are games out there that can take upa  good chunk of time for the hardcore and not get boring, and for many (not all) Gw2 fell very short. It takes a lot for a game to actually bore me after a few hours of playand unfortunately GW2 did just that. I literally got tired of playing after 2 hours THE FIRST DAY. Its not a good thing at all.

People devoured SWTOR like no other. This is a sign that BIOWARE made a great game and that many will be back with content updates. Some people are leaving but new players are constantly streaming in, which means that the game's population has not even dipped.

Changed (underline) for lolz since the same could be applied there a month after launch. Population dip HAS occured, it occurs for every single game. Bots don't count as well which there are tons of them around, many owned by a single person. I love rift but when that expansion comes out it will be much more popular again but I'd bet in 3 months the population will be down a good deal. Over-inflated MMO market does that.
